With a robust economy, outstanding social welfare policies, and cities consistently ranked among the most livable in the world, Australia has become an ideal destination for those seeking long-term residency. One of the most popular and secure pathways to settle in Australia is through the Immigration Investment Program designed for entrepreneurs and foreign investors, commonly known as the Australian Investment Immigration Program.
This program is aimed at entrepreneurs and investors who possess a minimum of 1.25 million AUD (approximately 21 billion VND) and have management experience or a successful track record in business or investment. Another option is to invest at least 5 million AUD (approximately 84 billion VND) in government-designated sectors.
When investors meet the specific conditions of each visa type and complete the required investments, they and their families will be granted an Australian residency visa (188A/188B/188C). After at least 3 years of business or investment in Australia, if they continue to meet the necessary requirements, they can apply for permanent residency (888A/888B/888C). After fulfilling the required residency period, the entire family may also proceed with the process of applying for Australian citizenship.
Australia is a land of diverse climates and is renowned for its unique ecosystem of flora and fauna, unmatched anywhere else on the planet. With an open and democratic government policy, Australia is a safe and welcoming destination for those seeking to settle from all corners of the globe. It is a melting pot of all social classes, communities, races, cultures, and traditions. As a developed nation, Australia offers career development opportunities and immense potential for talented and skilled individuals from all continents.
Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, between two major oceans, the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. The capital of Australia is Canberra, situated in the south, between the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne, which are the country's leading economic and cultural centers. Australia is the only nation that occupies an entire continent, with a vast area, ranking as the 6th largest in the world, covering approximately 8 million square kilometers.
